Peony Chicken Soup

Overview

I bought a free-range chicken. This kind of chicken stew is very delicious and does not require too much seasoning. I used red dates and peony flowers to increase the sweetness of the soup. I also added angelica and ginger. This is a blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing chicken soup.
